The G-Rant : Grant's Rants on Adventure Racing

“Without adventure, civilization is in full decay.” - Alfred North Whitehead

Photos from New England

I've uploaded the pics from the race with Pam and Mike up in Vermont.  It was a gorgeous morning at Killington mountain in Vermont.


Check out all the photos at my Flickr section for the Vermont race.  We had a bit of a contest to see who could make the silliest face in a photo, I think each of us have a good contender:
-Mike's Silly Face Candidate (so many to pick from!)
-Pam's Candidate (smoking a CO2 cartridge -- while fixing Mike's cyclocross flat)
-Grant's Candidate
I'll part with a final photo teaser fresh from some New England course testing; this is Eric looking wet and cold with his bike, complete with cyclocross tires -- not an ideal choice for the wet stuff!  What is it with people and the cyclocross tires lately?


And you wondered why we have a shelter requirement for the Untamed New England race?

Great shots Grant. Thanks for sharing the memories. We are definitely looking forward to an Untamed New England charge through the woods. I'm just not sure the yanks will be ready to handle all of us flatlanders...

In your picture you look a little dazed. My vote is for Pam's picture.

I look a little under the weather. ha ha That was a fun course test may we can do it again in May with some more hill training under my belt.

I've always wondered what my teammates were doing behind me and I think Pam has answered that question.

Grant having a camera has been awesome! He's brought alot of adventures to our living rooms! ...thanks for the foresight Eric!

So, it's just not a race if you don't get goofy! The sun was shining, Mike, Grant, and I were racing ...it was great!!! All that and the best breakfast in the world, who could ask for more?!

I just found my next Christmas gift idea, a waterproof helmet cam http://www.atc2k.com. I may even purchase one from my brother the fisherman. My brother actually gave me the idea for Grant's all purpose camera. He's used his camera to film fish underwater for a few years.

You can't ask for any thing more after having the best breakfast in the world.
